fooI am helping someone install ubuntu on a Dell PowerEdge SC1435 (http://www.dell.com/content/products/productdetails.aspx/pedge_sc1435) - the system has a SAS 5iR RAID controller. During ubuntu, on the partition screen... it hangs. We tried this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=1575949&postcount=20 .. any idea why the hang? ALT+F2 didn't show any verbosity or anything, hmm. 04:37
fooWould you guys recommend ubuntu 6.06 LTS AMD64 or x86? I've been told AMD64 isn't too stable... thoughts? 04:48

shawarmafoo: amd64 is stable. The only issue with amd64 I'm familiar with is stuff like plugins for firefox, but that's hardly relevant on servers. :-)07:02
fooshawarma: ahh, yeah. :)07:03
fooshawarma: thank you :)07:03
shawarmafoo: Where does the boot hang?07:03
fooshawarma: Right before the partitioner, after he presses enter on the web proxy set up07:04
fooSomeone else suggested to boot with the ubuntu live cd and do the partitioning prior to the install, which isn't a bad idea07:05
fooAny two cents appreciated :)07:05
shawarmaI'm sorry, I've got to run. I'll be around later, though.07:22

=== shermann [n=shermann@server3.servereyes.de] has joined #ubuntu-server
ivoksok, that's a hardware raid10:05
ivoksand megaraid_sas isn't included in initrd? hm...10:05
fooyu10:06
foop10:06
ivoksbut this page is for software raid10:06
fooahh10:06
fooHmm, we were just going to try it, I had  no idea10:06
ivoksi.e. if you have hardware raid10:07
fooI had them try with ubuntu 6.06 and guy said it hung when he got to the partitions part of the install 10:07
maswana real raid doesn't need any support, it should just appear as normal scsi devices10:07
ivokslinux will see only one disk (assuming you set up raid before installing)10:07
foomaswan: agreed.10:07
ivoksand one can't expirience thise problems10:07
fooivoks: ahh10:07
ivoksthese10:07
fooAlright.. so, I probably need to tell the guy to set up RAID in the RAID BIOS?10:07
fooer, I shouldn't assume he did that, I did10:08
ivoksif you can't set it up in bios, than it's software raid10:08
ivoksright10:08
ivoksi preferre hw raid, but there are some that preferre linux software raid10:08
maswanif you want to set it up from inside the OS, it depends on alot of factor10:08
fooShould SAS 5iR be hardware RAID?10:08
fooI would prefer hw raid10:08
maswanprobably, yes10:09
ivokshttp://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2006-October/070929.html10:09
ivoksyes, it is10:09
fooI see10:09
maswanhandling them from inside the OS usually depends on you finding a management tool and hope it runs on your distribution (and not just red hat 7.2)10:09
foohah, I see10:10
fooWe're going with ubuntu10:10
ivoksgood choice :D10:10
fooEh, I've gotten so much crap for using ubuntu. 10:10
fooI'm all for giving things a chance...10:10
maswanIt shouldn't be a problem to set it up in bios, you probably want to look for the management tool anyway though10:10
fooAnd ubuntus support and everything is just great10:10
maswanbut that's a later problem, not for install10:10
fooThe common answer I get is "it's a desktop distro"10:10
fooeh, I take it as ignorance and move on.10:10
fooI see10:11
ivokswhen i installed ubuntu on dells10:11
ivoksi got setup CD with server10:11
ivokswhit it i've created raid10:11
ivoksand then rebooted and started installer10:11
ivoksiirc, it didn't have raid bios :/10:11
fooahh10:11
fooThis should have a raid bios10:12
ivoksIIRC!10:12
fooI'm just telling someone, I hope it does10:12

foo(I will use these when I talk to folks as well)10:13

maswanoh, and a resonable upgrade schedule, so that when you feel like doing a site upgrade, there is always something _resonably_ fresh around10:16
[miles] I've just put in a ubuntu server 6.06, and it's fine...10:16
ivoksright10:16
[miles] but, I have a fwbuilder script that I execute on boot, and it's churning all the logs to the terminal10:16

[miles] I will11:13
[miles] I can't check it until nearly 14:0011:15

[miles] cos it's the firewall for the internel network... got 2 x boxes... can't swap'em around11:15
[miles] lionel: FYI, I just made some modifications, simply adding /bin/dmesg -n 1 did work, many thanks for that info dude11:45

lionelTime for lunch here. bbl12:42
foodavekempe: eek. To my understanding the SAS 5iR RAID card is true hardware RAID... so, if the RAID array is built successfully, it should work fine... I assumed he built the array, but have not confirmed 12:42
davekempefoo - SAS is a new storage mechanism, so 'true' or not, dapper might not support it nicely12:42

[miles] :P04:42
lionelIf you have bw, the best is probabily a local miror 04:42
[miles] really?04:43
[miles] lionel: you don't use apt-proxy or apt-cacher?04:43
lionelfrom what I have seen, squid tends to replace apt-proxy/apt-cacher04:43
lionelno04:43
lionelDapper i386 is "only" 9G of disk04:44
lionelif you have many system with that...04:44

coNPhey09:49
coNPis it possible to install a ubuntu server (in fact the alternate, because I need RAID as well) from a running system?09:49
coNPjust as I were using ubiquity (that is not a solution, however, because it does not support RAID if I am right)09:50
mralphabetcoNP: without a reboot?09:52
mralphabetor rather, what do you mean by running?09:52
coNPI have a desktop machine09:52
coNPI have a hard disk installed on that  I want to have the new system09:53
coNPI want to boot my desktop machine and then install the new system 09:53
coNPwhile I am able to perform regular tasks as answering e-mails, etc.09:53
coNPfinally I remove the hard disk and put it back to the new machine09:54
mralphabetI do not understand why you just can't install ubuntu on the new machine, it takes 15 minutes09:56
coNPbecause I only have the hard disk here:)09:57
coNPand I don't want to move the whole big machine09:57
Burgworkyou can do that09:57
Burgworkgrab the alternate, install on it09:57
Burgworkswap the harddrive09:57
Burgworkgo09:57
coNPsure that is what I wanted09:57
coNPbut then I imagined that it might be possible to install from my desktop09:58
shawarmacoNP: It is. You can use debootstrap.09:58
coNPoh, thanks09:59
coNPI install the hard disk and -- hopefully :) -- come back10:01
mralphabetis it me or is that just overcomplicating the process10:02

mralphabetI don't know that anyone here works for canonical10:40

mralphabetI could easily be wrong, but it isn't something that has been brought up10:42
radevilubuntu server developer10:42
Burgworkright10:44
Burgworkfor that you would need to talk to canonical direclty10:44

radevildo yuo wirk for canonical?? 10:44
Burgworkno10:44

radevilthanks a lot for the help10:46
Burgworkradevil: wait10:46
Burgworkbasically, the job requires you to have some debian skills and lot of server experience10:46
Burgworkyou can work from home10:46
Burgworkthere are a minimum of two international conferences you would need to attend each year, called Ubuntu Development Summits10:47
Burgworkdo you have experience with open source in general?10:47

shawarmaBurgwork: Why would you want general support to go to #ubuntu-server-admin instead of #ubuntu ?11:05
Burgworkbecause #ubuntu is completely and totallly full11:06
BurgworkI would rather have -admin merge into here, as we are not busy here11:06
shawarmaOh, #ubuntu-server-admin is not new?11:07
shawarmaI just never heard about it before.11:07
shawarmaBurgwork: Even though #ubuntu is full, it's still the proper place to ask how to install nvidia drivers and whatnot.11:08
Burgworkis new11:08
Burgworkif we are trying to promote Ubuntu on the server, throwing them to #ubuntu is not a good way to do it11:09
shawarmaDefinitely not.11:09
BurgworkI suspect that most people running on Ubuntu ont he server know those basic things11:09
shawarmaBut this channel is for server support, too?11:09
Burgworkthey are looking for higher level advice11:09
Burgworkoh, right11:09
